THE SHEPARDSON FAMILY. 



A Record of the Line of Daniel Shepardson, 
Granville, Ohio. 

BY FRANCIS WAYLAND SHEPARDSON. 



This leaflet gives genealogical details of the family of my 
father, Daniel Shepardson, whose life was largely connected with 
the village of Granville, Licking County, Ohio, and some account 
of allied families, 

1. Daniel Shepardsox, blacksmith of Charlestown, Mass., coming 
from Salem. Admitted to the Church in Charlestown 8 June, 1633. 
Removed to Maiden, where he died 26 July, 1644. His wife was Joanna 

, maiden name and date of marriage unknown. She survived her 

husband and married (2) Thomas Call, Sr, She died 30 January, 1661. 
Children: 

i. Ltdia Skepakdson, bapt. 24 July, 1637; m. (1) Thomas Call, Jr.; 
(2) Thomas Skinner. Child, Joanna Call, b. March, 1660. 

2. li. Daniel Shepakdson, bapt. 14 June, 1641 (1639?). 

ill. Joanna Shepardson, bapt. 13 March, 1642; m. November, 1661, Rog- 
er Kennicut of Maiden, and later removed to Swanzey. Children, 
Joanna, Lydia and John. 

2. Daniel Shepardson (DmiieV) succeeded his father as black- 
smith at Maiden. He was a freeman of Middlesex County, Mass., 29 
May, 1674, and took the oath of fidelity 15 December, 1674. He married, 
11 April, 1668, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Call, Sr., and widow of 
Mr. Samuel Tingley of Maiden. He removed to Attleboro where he had 
fifty acres about half a mile from "Old Tov/n" on the Bay Road. He 
lived to an advanced age and was long called "old goodman Daniel 
Shepardson." He came near losing his property at one time as the 
Attleboro records indicate. So far as known his children were: 

1. Daniel Shepardson, b. 11 July, 1669; lieutenant in 9th Mass. Regt. 
against Canada in 1691 where he died 11 March, 1691. He may 
have married and had son John, b. 22 July, 1685, d. 15 October, 
1685. 
il. John Shepardson, bapt. January, 1671. 

3. iii. Nathaniel Shepardson, bapt. 28 October, 1680. 

iv. Elizabeth Shepardson ; m. Robert Fuller, 19 January, 1699. 
v. Mart Shepardson; m. Joseph Ingraham, 11 April, 1700. 
vi. Joanna Shepardson ; m. John Fuller, 22 December, 1701. 

3. Nathaniel Shepardson (Daniel,'^ DanieV) may have moved from 
Attleboro, Mass., to Rehoboth, where two of his children were baptized, 

although all are recorded in Attleboro. His wife was Mary . Prom 

similarity of names and some other circumstances, he may be the one 
referred to on page 236 of "Hinman's Connecticut Settlers" as "Nathan- 
iel Shippason, widow Mary, of Hebron, estate £207. He died 1718.

who was born 6 July, 1704, daughter of John and Joanna (Shepardson) 
Fuller. Joseph Shepardson, who gathered extensive notes about the 
family, all of which were destroyed by fire before publication, reports 
that Jonathan's wife, "Merriam, died in 1771 very aged," and says 
children were Jonathan, born 3 January, 1735, Nathaniel and Joanna. 
The Attleboro records show no other Jonathan of this generation who 
might be confused with this line, and show children:
